Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling series! 

Harlem’s favorite family returns in the third installment in the Vanderbeerkers series, wherein the Vanderbeeker kids find themselves racing to save their mother’s baking business from city closure. 

For the Vanderbeeker kids of Harlem’s 141st Street, spring break couldn’t be off to a better start. Isa’s back from band camp, Oliver’s building his first-ever treehouse in the backyard of the brownstone, and Laney, Jess, and Hyacinth are excited to help their mother when she gets the once-in-a-lifetime chance to star in a cooking magazine. 

But the Vanderbeekers’ plans go off the rails when an unexpected visit from city officials puts their mother’s bakery in jeopardy. Now they’ll have to band together to save the day before they’re out of business. Perfect for fans of The Penderwicks and Front Desk.

Featured Article: The Best Women Narrators to Listen to Right Now


One of the biggest questions listeners have when it comes to approaching a new audiobook is whether or not they'll enjoy the narration style. This is understandable, as audiobooks are at least a few hours long (with many clocking in at 20 hours long—or more!), and sticking with one person's voice for that time period can feel like a big commitment. We rounded up some of the best female narrators with a robust list of audiobooks under their belts.

Another Fabulous Vanderbeeker Book!!

We loved every minute! Another sweet book in the Vanderbeeker series, we were sad to see it end! Our busy 9- and 11-year olds enjoyed the ups and downs of the story. and the whole series! Very family friendly, age-appropriate, life-giving series!

These Kids Are A Riot!

These kids, the Vanderbeekers, are so entertaining. Cringe-worthy as we either are **one of those children** or **have** one of those children, or more! And Robin Miles does a fantastic job too ;)
